Hi all - I had a quick question about changing rims on the car. If I get a new set of BMW rims with the TPMS sensors installed, how do I go about having the car recognize the new sensors? If I switch between summer/winter tires twice a year, do I have to go to the dealership to change the rims and program the rims/sensors, or if I change the rims myself will the car automatically recognize them?

You need to go to the tire shop, almost every shop has a device to connect tpms to the car.

If the TPMS sensors are OEM, your vehicle will recognize the sensors automatically. Just reset the TPMS using the iDrive after swapping.

My car recognizes the (OEM) sensors but I have to manually select the size in the iDrive menu when I switch to winter wheels.
